FOR THE YOUNG YEAR. Out of the utmost East at dawn a stripling came, Brightlothed as for a feast with robes of flame. Forth from his morning eyes there beaconed high desire; His brow glowed, radiant wise, with Hope's pure fire. "Love to mankind T thus swelled his heart-song without cease, And in his hand he held the flower of peace. Blow 'round his pathway, blow, 0 Heaven, your softest airs! And with him ever go our praise and prayers! DANGER IN THE INITIATIVE LAW "In fifteen vears if the initiative and referendum law i if EULOGY ON OREGON. "You wish to know what kind of a place is Oregon, and the answer must be, Oregon is all kinds of a place. If you want to behold a desert, hot, panting, palpitating in breatkless, rainless summer heat: where the juniper is the only vegetation, and the scream of tke eagle, the growl of the coigar, the howl of the coyote and the cry of birds of prey are about the only sounds of life, come to the spot between the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon and the lofty Cascades. ; "If you wish to dwell where the great rolling hills and deep spring watered canons are covered with the sweet fine bunch grass, so emerald green in spring, and full of all the sepia browns and yellows the rest of the year; in force, I predict that men will be shot in the street!

No country in the world, no state in the union, no city or town is cursed with such a measure. "Why. under the initiative and referendum, people could pass a law hanging all red-headed men. Under the law, BodUata, and there are a large number of them in Oregon, could, if they held the majority, turn the state of Oregon into a Socialistic state." These remarks and many more of the same nature, came from the lips of Ralph R.
